Continuing from off-topic landfill 2.
there is absolutely no way you wrote this unless you were heavily under the influence. Who you account sharing with?

I suspect Siri strikes again. The strongest sunstance Iāve had since June is Advil. As soon as I saw Max quote it I edited the original, but my homophonic shame is quoted in posterity forever.
and now itās double quoted (āweakā)
Ah, feels good. I love calling out spelling and grammar so much so you donāt know how enjoyable this is for me. Iāve also never tried using Siri for dictation but now Iām going to start trying.
Iād landfill this, but it is offramp, after allā¦

Wow I saw āweightā and missed āweakā 
I donāt know if youāre an iPhone person or you use Siri transcription, but Iāve watched it transcribe an entire paragraph grammatically perfectly, and then when the transcription is stopped it goes back over everything and makes edits, and the edits are wrong! If it does it enough, I open the notes app and make Siri transcribe horrible things about itself until Iām not upset anymore.
This has been my Ted talk in an empty theater.

Wow how bad was the machine learning behind Siri?

I have to reset the ML for my keyboard prediction periodically.
In the past week, Elon Musk admitted that the ML that was allegedly scanning all the camera footage from every Tesla for Autopilot actually isnāt, and probably wonāt reach v1.0 for a year because of all the corner cases. Itās probably the least inflated thing he has sad about Tesla (opposite of āa Tesla will drive itself from LA to NY entirely under Auto Pilot in $TODAY + 6_months). Itās a hard problem to solve, and 99% is basically 0%.
Just because you can draw inferences from large data sets doesnāt mean the results arenāt gibberish.
And back Siri itself: the voice recognition still isnāt as good as when they first bought it, when it used all of Nuanceās technology, since ļ£æ took it in-house. Not that they arenāt capable of engineering a better solution, but Nuance owns 99% of the speech patents.
That story was hilarious when I first read it, andā¦ itās still funny.

It would be so interesting to somehow quantify how many Volvos have been sold because of LH.

Manā¦how clueless is Fordā¦lol
j/kā¦I think Iām going to make plans shortly to move to Texas. Cali is out of control.
Thatās a large part of why I just pulled the ejection handles and got out.
More people leaving CA over a DMV fee also means more available housing

Iāll take your word for it. I donāt know how many longhorn and Whataburgers the TX DMV charges for registration.
Edit: Here is the last thing that I will say about this, and iMessage board full of people that will go to extreme lengths to save a dollar. I think the one true drawback in TX, as someone who always signs and drives, is (if they allow it) amoritizing the upfront taxes and paying rent on it. My effective MF is 0.74% and our lease tax is the state min 7.75%. If I leased something in TX at 2-4% rent and rolled in several thousand in taxes, that would hurt.
Could be right, I mean that is what I was charged. It is the overall cost of living in a blue state just crazy high.
Then you should obviously pack up and move there to save $140/yr (+) on your registration.

Iād say I want to vacate my home for more available housing. California specially LA, has a big transient problem. Just sarcasm. Why shouldnāt high registration fees be on that list.
Obviously what theyāre really trying to say is that California has so many more real problems that should make everyone want to leave that high registration fees donāt even show up on radar as being a reason to go.
